Salvage

A short break in a shoreline cottage is an ideal place to struggle with your demons and for Elly and Martin it offers a place to recuperate after a scandal. But Elly makes a life-changing find on the tideline in the form of a finger wearing a huge pink diamond ring. Scroll back a few months to the hospital where Martin works, we meet nurse Hayley, twenty-five, gorgeous, a player, and totally turned off by the ward surgeon. Richard Congreve. Until, that is, she catches a whiff of something expensive in his Jag and is ensnared by a gift so desirable it may prove fatal. Ranging between Wales, the north of England and Goa, this is a novel about possession, betrayal, violence -- and just how much we can afford to lose.
